Maxi brown dress

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this dress for summer when the heat wave arrived. You can dress it up for evenings or pop it over a swimsuit and head out to lunch on holidays.

A lovely, swishy dress for warm weather!

Yes, I recommend this

A lovely, swishy dress for the hot weather. There is a LOT of fabric, so ironing it (and it does need ironing) was a bit of an ordeal - but it actually didn't crease too badly in a suitcase. Unlined, but not see through. Quite low at the front but this might be because it's a beach dress, whereas I wore it to dinner - got around it by wearing a crop top which made me feel a bit more secure. Love the detail with the ties at the back!

This dress felt floaty and chic for a Summer festival. It is a little see- through in bright light!

Summer beach dress

Yes, I recommend this

Material is quite thin, but there’s so much of it I didn’t feel “exposed”. Dress is very comfortable to wear either in the day or with some statement jewellery for the evening, and had a lot of wear during my holiday.

Great dress

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely, cool dress. Generous sizing and long so went down a size even though I have a large bust, g cup and chose the petite length which is ideal for me at 5’3, came to just above the top of my feet. Although it is thin material, it’s ideal for summer and not see through at all, just wear flesh coloured underwear.

Breezy summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely full billowy breezy dress for this heatwave and an upcoming holiday . A little sheer as it is a beach dress so I wore an under slip with it and it was perfect .

Cover up for the pool/beach

Fine for a cover up for the pool/beach - cool and roomy. Light to pack. Not sure I'd wear it on an evening.

Lovely Simplistic Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Purchased this purely for wearing at home during hotter weather. Lovely light fabric that hangs well. At 5ft 7" a regular length was brushing my ankles which was fine, but having a 40G bust, the size 16 I ordered was way too tight sadly. Couldn't find a single bra that worked with this dress & can't not wear one! The colour is gorgeous & as I have red hair & very pale skin white & pastel colours don't really suit me so I was sad to return this dress. I would thoroughly recommend it to others as a good value garment - just not right for my shape on this occasion.
